This document discusses the importance of prevention and community health. It argues that health is shaped by social and environmental factors like education, income, stress levels, and access to healthy behaviors. Living in poorer communities can expose people to multiple health risks due to lack of resources and opportunities. The document calls for a broader approach to prevention that addresses social determinants of health and empowers communities through partnerships, policies, and initiatives that promote health at individual and environmental levels.
Social justice affects people's lives and health in major ways. It determines people's chances of illness and premature death. There are large disparities in life expectancy and health between those who live in parts of the world where social justice is lacking and those who live in areas with greater social justice. Ensuring social justice for all is critical to improving people's health and extending their lifespans.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Life Spans Shrink for Least-Educated
Whites in the U.S.
By SABRINA TAVERNISE
For generations of Americans, it was a given that children would
live longer than their parents. But there is now mounting
evidence that this enduring trend has reversed itself for the
country’s least-educated whites, an increasingly troubled group
whose life expectancy has fallen by four years since 1990.
Researchers have long documented that the most educated
Americans were making the biggest gains in life expectancy, but
now they say mortality data show that life spans for some of the
least educated Americans are actually contracting.

18. 2. ‘Chronic Stress’
• Living environments matter for
– healthy behavior opportunities
– stress exposure
(Cohen, Janicki-Deverts , and Miller 2007; Ader,
Felten, and Cohen 2006)
19. Psychoneuroimmunology
• Studies the interplay of psychology, the nervous
system, and the immune system.
• Findings: Psychosocial stressors can lead to
– impaired immune function
– unregulated inflammation
– hormonal and metabolic imbalances
– via dysregulation of the HPA axis.
• Mind-Body dichotomy artificial
(Cohen, Janicki-Deverts , and Miller 2007; Ader, Felten, and Cohen 2006)
23. We are especially vulnerable in early life.
– Chronic stress in kids damages the developing brain,
immune system, metabolism.
– Parents’ home ownership can predict immunity to colds as
adults…
– Childhood ACE can double risk of autoimmune disease as
adults…
– Experiences in childhood lay the foundation
for a lifetime of health or illness.
Cohen et al, Dube et al
2009
24. Discrimination is a potent chronic
stressor.
• Race, sex, sexual orientation, size…
• Experiences of lifetime racism are associated
with stress-linked health risks.
– Hypertension
– Obesity
– Depression
25. 3. Social Support
• Living environments matter for:
1. Healthy behavior opportunties
2. Stress
3. Social support
26. 3. Social support
• Being connected to others is
good for our health.
• Emotional
• Instrumental
• Informational
• Supports healthy behaviors
• Increases our resistance to disease
• “tend and befriend”
27. • Happy marriage is good for health
– Longer life, cancer, heart disease,
depression
• Communities have ‘dispositions’ that
matter for health and violence
– Trust, reciprocity, sense of fairness
28. Connecting the dots…

– Living environments more conducive to
healthy choices
– Fewer chronic stressors
– More social support
– In a gradient.
29. Being poor and uneducated:
A ‘health risk pile-up’
Poor access to healthy foods, substandard housing
and homelessness, low control/ high stress jobs,
lack of sleep, fear of neighborhood violence, higher
density of liquor stores and illegal drug markets,
multiple jobs, poor quality schools, unemployment
and underemployment, lack of recreational
facilities, environmental degradation, lack of
transportation, lack of health insurance, low
educational attainment, lack of bridging social
capital, lack of quality and affordable child care, low
knowledge levels about nutrition and self-care,
inability to buy and prepare healthy meals, lack of
green space, air and noise pollution, lack of
reciprocity and trust, lower instrumental social
support……..
+/- discrimination
30. What can we do?
• Lots!
• A broader frame for action for health.
Work toward communities that….
• catalyze healthy choices
• minimize chronic stress
• support people emotionally and instrumentally
31. Direct Community Action
1. Form partnerships…
– Public Health departments and organizations
2. Assess…
– Challenges
– Capacities
3. Act…
4. Evaluate!
32. Worksite wellness School lunches, food in public
buildings and jails
Fast food-free zones
Smoke-free environments
Community gardens
Enterprise zones
Community summits
on race, class… Build or repair playgrounds
Media campaigns Coalitions to address
Sidewalks environmental
Community center concerns
Transport service or
Job counseling
public transport Peer education
Farmer’s market with EBT Sports teams or clubs
33. Policy Involvement
– Voter awareness and Advocacy
• Health policies
– Clean Air Act
– Prevention and Public Health Fund (ACA)
• Policies and programs that buffer chronic stress and
provide opportunities for healthy choices. These are
health policies too!
•scholarships and loans for education, food support, child care
support, unemployment insurance, universal health coverage,
workplace protections and labor laws, affordable housing, living
wage…
– These are the keys to climbing the health ladder.
– A good investment. $1 trillion productivity losses
each year from chronic illness alone.
34. Conclusions
• The opportunity to be healthy begins at birth, and
continues across the lifespan.
• By embracing the work of primary prevention in our
communities, we can work toward providing all
Americans the opportunity to make healthy choices,
irrespective of income, race, or education.
Editor's Notes
Not even a perfect health care system, and no amount of health care spending, can change that.A lack of health care is not the cause of illness, and health care can’t cure these diseases“It is like saying that since aspirin curesa fever that the lack of aspirin must be the cause of the fever.” Ichiro KawachiThe top things on this list are about what we do and how we live. They are largely preventable through simple behaviors: eating well, physical activity, not smoking, which can impact multiple disease risks…
